I wear many rings. People often ask why. The truth is I’m fascinated by them and have collected them from my travels. 

Sometimes I give a ring as a gift, but never before wearing it myself—because a ring is not like other gifts. It has power.

Throughout history, rings have been powerful symbols in myth and in life. Their circular shape suggests infinity, unity, and protection, and in mythology that form becomes divine—marking the bearer with authority.From ancient Egypt and Greece to Rome and the Norse sagas, rings have been portrayed as conduits of supernatural ability. 

Osiris’s ring granted dominion over life and death; Hades’s ring controlled the underworld; Odin’s Draupnir produced eight new rings every ninth night. In Hindu legend, Nagamani could transform material into precious gems. King Arthur’s coronation ring affirmed his right to rule, while the cursed ring Andvaranaut bestowed power and doom in equal measure.
